Melbourne are asking for a player and picks and have offered Sydney Pick 14 plus a future pick plus Grundy for Hadyn Mclean a Forward  would do that deal now

    They will need two 2nd round picks, so maybe something like:

    Grundy and pick 27 to swans for Roos future 2nd round + pick 46

    I'd do that personally

     

    I was hoping we can get a 2nd Rounder this year and package this to GC for Pick 10, otherwise I dont mind it.

    Indeed, but Swans will want more for McLean.

    No, that is overs by a long way.

    Future picks don't need to come into this.

    14 and Grundy for McLean is a very good deal and a win win for both teams  as they both get something they really need.

    They treated him like [censored] why would he stay for  more of the same?

    I am waiting to hear his story when  he wins a flag  with the Swans or maybe what May says about him next year

    I am even more looking forward to what folks on here say about Tom Hawkins if he kicks 5 in the G/F to seal  the flag for the Dee's next season.

    I season at $600 000.!

    Can someone remind me of the usual number of players taken in a draft. IIRC it's between 50 and 60 but I could be wrong.

    Pick 44 if so is at the wrong end of the barrel especially when it's around 49 allowing for concessions

    actually 44 probably becomes <44 because of all the multi picks for f/s and academy players beforehand

    Rubbish source I know but on SEN this morning there was talk of the AFL agenda items and that the 5 man interchange was in the mix again. 

    If this comes to pass, I'm keeping Grundy. That gives us the flexibility to effectively run with 2 first rucks.

    Club needs to get a look at the AFL crystal ball before we shunt him off

    So we got a "not even goodwill" out of handing JJ to them amicably, you know what i mean.

    JJ was a free agent

    Is holding on to Brodie a realistic option? Can whatever was broken be mended? 

    Great question.  Answer TBA

    MFCSS tells me that the AFL will wait to see what we do before announcing anything.   If we part ways they will extend the interchange: if he stays they will change the rule that no ruckman can ever be named on the interchange. 🙄😱MFCSS +

     

    PS straight swap for Guerdion (?spelling) would be ok 🤗🤗

    If you want someone that badly do you offer pick 46?

    They know we want to offload

    Could just be poor negotiating on their behalf. Softening us up in the hope we accept pick 33 later

    So, thats 46 and probably a pick in the mid 30's if the swans finish somewhere between 4 -8

    Haven’t done the maths but probably similar value to the pick 27 we paid for him? 

    Currently leaves us with 6, 11, 41 and 46 for this year, with our own future picks, Sydney’s future second and Dogs future third 

    A bit to play out yet…

    A future 2nd is in the 20s, if Sydney struggle next year, or the 30s if they do well. 

    I’m comfortable with it given we clearly didn’t consider him part of our future.

    And so ends one of the more interesting player trades we’ve engaged in. I reckon Grundy will do really well at Sydney, and I actually hope he does.

    Haven't seen confirmation on it yet but based on this years ladder position it would have been 31 and 46.

    Was 29 but pushed back 2 spots for north compo picks.

    F2 Can fall anywhere between 21 and 39.

    A very mild death ride next year.

    Perhaps a slow decline ride?

    based on points

    21 & 46 = equivalent pick 14

    39 & 46 = 25

    He’ll do very well at Sydney, they again will be right up there in the mix to win a flag.

    What debacle it has been since he arrived at the club, getting him was not the issue (replacement for Jackson) but what we did (and didn’t do more importantly) with him while the team yet again went out in straight sets was a disgrace.

    We had Petracca in the ruck while Grundy sat in the stands.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
